I'm considering getting the HALF - LIFE GENERATION 3 pack thingy. Should I get it. It only costs £17.99 from SR. I've never played Half-Life and I'm not sure if I should get it. Please may I have opinions.

Thanks

A game that dissapointed me was Max Payne. It just wasn't what I expected. I played the 1st mission and hated it.

Well your not missing much. It's like a much poorer version of Serious sam, you have lots of guns and there are lots of things to shoot.

I enjoyed the demo of serious sam, but I got extremely bored of the demo of Will Rock and the fact that it came out and went straight to a near budget price seems to suggest the developers knew this as well.

im intruiged by the demo of will rock. it's a decent game, i love it. now i just gotta buy it........

love the graphic quality aswell. it could give UT2K3's G-engine a run for it's money, and at twice the FPS.

If you've never playing it, a resounding "yes". Classic game (apart from the alien xen levels)

Hl2 is a continuation of the storyline, so it's worth playing.

I remember first seeing the opening sequence, and pulling my jaw off the floor.

Half-Life is one of those games that's a must have and since it's so cheap then you should get it right away :)
